EMBROIDERY.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 322,386, dated July 14,1885.

Application filed April 1, 1885. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, JOHN KRsI, a citizen of the Republic of Switzerland,residing at St. Gall, in Switzerland, have invented certain new anduseful Improvements in Embroideries, of which the follow'ingis aspecification, which is to be constructed by reference to the drawingsattached thereto, and in which Figure I is a plan view of a piece ofernbroidery of my improved manufacture. Fig. Il is a cross-section takenon the line l 2, and Fig. III is a similar view taken on the line 3 4.

Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in all thegures.

My invention has relation to the manufactnre of embroidery adapted forthe use of flounces, trimmings, and similar purposes 5 and it consistsin the improved method of manufacture, which will be hereinafter morefully described and claimed.

In the accompanying drawings, the-letter a denotes apiece of embroideredcloth, of any suitable kind, which is to form the foundation ot' myimproved embroidered fabric. This is embroidered with any suitabledesign, as

shown at c. Upon this piece of fabric a is placed another piece offabric, b, upon which a suitable design (shown at b) has beenembroidered.

The two parts or pieces, a and b, are so placed together that the pointsmarked c c2 c3 will register with one another, the said points havingbeen previously marked upon both pieces' of fabric a and b. By thisarrangement of the points or indicators I cause the embroidered designupon the piece b to fall into its proper place relative to the designembroidered upon the piece a, as shown in the drawings. This being done,the two pieces of fabric a and b are passed under the needle of theembroidering-machine, and a suitable design (marked don the drawings) isembroidered over all, so as to connect the pieces a and b.

Itis obvious that the piece b, with its design, is placed upon that sideof the piece a which is to be the under side, and which, therefore, isnot exposed to view, and that the embroidered design d, by which the twoparts a and b are stitched permanently together, is to be upon the faceorfront side of the fabric. After Athis has been done, that portion ofthe two pieces of fabric a and b which projects beyond the edge oftheembroidery is carefully cut away, so as to expose the edges 0f theembroidery, as shown in the drawings.

By this method very artistic and beautiful `effects may be attainedinthis class of embroidery at small expense; and proper care being takento place the two pieces 0f embroidered fabric a and b properly togetherin the manner described, it will appear to the eye as it' the entireembroidered design was executed upon a single piece of cloth.

Having thus described my invention, I claim and desire to secure byLetters Patent of the United States-,-

The improved method of manufacturing embroideries, consisting inarranging pieces of embroidered fabric upon other embroidered pieces offabric so that the design of the several separate pieces form aharmonious design as a whole, and thereupon securing the several layersct' embroidered fabric by means of embroidery stitches upon the face ofthe material, the said stitches entering into the composition of andforming part of the entire embroidery, as and for the purpose shown andset forth.

In testimony whereof I have signed this application in the presence oftwo subscribin g witnesses.
